Roadrunner/TWC, has picked up the "Xerox" comment...

Roadrunner/TWC, has picked up the "Xerox" comment and placed it prominently on its front page along with a video similar to the one being watched on youtube.

Roadrunner/TWC is one of the larger ISP's right now, this doesn't bode well for the Clinton Campaign. There are only 4 clips total, but the booing one is at the top.

Many non internet junkies still use the standard homepage for their ISP as the first thing they see when they go online.

Top left, in the Features section.

1. I have Road Runner
And the default homepage is set to whatever the browser is set to. IE, which most technophobes use, typically opens up the MSN site by default, and Firefox their homepage. An internet connection is established merely by plugging in the ethernet cable and clicking a browser icon. It's not like AOL, which opens up their homepage.

When RR used to use installation discs years ago, their page would open up. They don't use the discs anymore. I've been with RR for about seven years.

I haven't seen the RR homepage in years, but then again, I usually set the homepage to Google or Yahoo first thing.

4. Ok, thats not so bad then...


I've had RR for a long time (if you can't tell) and I've just never changed it. I assumed that it was still the default.

It still isn't a good thing, but not as bad as I thought :hi:
